<!--paging_filter--><p><img src="/files/u220903/flickr_live_camera_620px.png" alt="Flickr" width="620" height="300" /></p><p>There's still no official native iPad version, but the folks at Yahoo! today unveiled a significant update to the Flickr iPhone app, which takes direct aim at Instagram with tons of new filters and gives away pro editing features.<br /><br /><a href="http://blog.flickr.net/en/2013/08/29/making-your-photos-even-more-beautiful-flickr-for-iphone-has-a-brand-new-camera/" target="_blank">Yahoo! announced</a> an update to its official <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/flickr/id328407587?mt=8" target="_blank">Flickr for iPhone</a> app on Thursday, bringing the version number to a tongue-twisting 2.20.1134. While we can't believe the app still isn't native for the iPad, mobile photographers will surely love the goodies included this time around.<br /><br />First and foremost is a brand new set of filters, including live filters that allow users to snap photos without the need to process them afterward. Should you want to do so, Flicker for iOS now allows customization of the included filters so users can get exactly the look they seek.<br /><br />The iPhone app also gains a number of new superpowers, including professional editing tools that previously required a separate purchase. Users can now enhance, crop, sharpen, adjust color and more without paying a dime, and in-camera tools such as grids, pinch to zoom and focus or exposure lock make getting the right shot a breeze.<br /><br /><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/flickr/id328407587?mt=8" target="_blank">Flickr for iPhone 2.20.1134</a> is now available from the App Store and requires iOS 5.1 or later; as a reminder, the service now gives all users 1TB of storage, so we can probably forgive the absence of an iPad app -- at least for now.<br /><br /><em>Follow this article’s author, <a href="http://twitter.com/JRBTempe" target="_blank">J.R.

<!--paging_filter--><p><img src="/files/u323900/twitterfilters.png" alt="Twitter Filters" width="200" height="150" class="graphic-right" />The great Twitter vs. Instagram battle of 2012 rages forward. While Twitter has removed Instagram cards from its service, Instagram decided to nix in-stream Instagram photos all-together. But just moments ago, Twitter has revealed an update to its iOS and Android apps which allows users to filter images right within Twitter itself.</p><p>Yep, Twitter knew what is was doing when it decided to take on Instagram. Recently, the massive social service removed the ability to post Instagram "cards," a move which seemingly led to <a href="http://www.maclife.com/article/news/instagram_strikes_back_twitter_removes_images_stream" target="_blank">Instagram's decision this past weekend</a> to remove Instagram photos from within Twitter feeds entirely.&nbsp;</p><p>Well, now Twitter has announced its very own Instagram-like editing system from within the Twitter app. The update adds the usual spectrum of filtering options, including a "bird's eye view" which allows you to check out all the filtering options in a grid layout.&nbsp;</p><p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/2giNzaZunqE?rel=0" width="620" height="349" frameborder="0"></iframe></p><p>"Every day, millions of people come to Twitter to connect with the things they care about and find out what’s happening around the world," reads the <a href="http://blog.twitter.com/2012/12/twitter-photos-put-filter-on-it.html" target="_blank">Twitter Blog</a>. "As one of the most compelling forms of self-expression, photos have long been an important part of these experiences."</p><p>The new Twitter filters also offer cropping and pinch-to-zoom functionality. Clicking on a small wand activates "auto-enhance" to balance light levels and colors.</p><p>Lately, it sure seems like Twitter is hell-bent on making sure various services are occurring within the company's own app, rather than utilizing a third-party options. Twitter has made a dedicated effort to <a href="http://www.maclife.com/article/news/twitter_announces_api_changes_developers_now_crosshairs" target="_blank">restrict API usage</a> by outside developers.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Follow this article's author, <a href="http://www.twitter.com/clarkmatt" target="_blank">Matt Clark on Twitter</a>.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>http://www.maclife.com/article/news/twitter_takes_another_shot_instagram_announces_filters_photos#commentsNewsapp updatesinstagramPhoto Editingphoto filtersTwittertwitter iosTue, 11 Dec 2012 00:17:47 +0000Matt Clark15775 at http://www.maclife.com
